YouTube iOS app: latest update fixes battery issues

A few days ago, the YouTube app for iOS caused negative headlines as reports of battery issues piled up. A lot of iPhoneusers found that the YouTube app is an absolute battery killer. Even with background usage, the YouTube app has put a heavy strain on the battery. YouTube said earlier this month that it would investigate the matter, and now it is back with a fix.

The bug causing heavy strain on the battery have been solved in the latest update, which then brings the YouTube iOS version of the app updated to 12.45. The update, which is available on iTunes now, is dedicated specifically to the bug, with its changelog stating: “Fixed an issue with battery usage.”

Well, everyone is expected to receive the update automatically but in the case whereby you didn't, you can manually update the app by going to the app store to install the new update so that the old app will not kill your battery too fast. The issue doesn’t appear to have affected the Android version of the app at all; that app was last updated on November 15 with minor UI tweaks.
